Chestnut Creek Estates Home for Rent

Twenty-five miles south of Sarasota, Chestnut Creek Estates is a deed-restricted Venice suburb offering single-family homes and duplexes set around a series of small lakes. “It’s a unique community,” says Vickey Roa, a Realtor with Century 21 - Schmidt Real Estate, who has over three years of experience. “You go around Circle Lake, and the various communities veer off.” Some subdivisions, like the Isles, Patios and the 55-plus Villas, offer shared amenities, including pools and clubhouses, but Circle Lake is open to all residents. “It’s very popular, even for people outside of the community, to just sit or walk around the lake,” Roa says. “There’s wildlife galore — an osprey couple comes back every year to have their little ones.” Shopping and dining are less than a mile away along Jacaranda Boulevard, and Venice Beach is 7 miles away. “People enjoy the camaraderie — it’s a friendly neighborhood,” Roa says. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. Chestnut Creek Estates is part of Sarasota County Schools, rated A overall by Niche.
